Ordered for pick up and was a smooth experience. They have parmesan and chili flake packets you can take which was nice as I felt that flavor was on the mild side for me. Also had their house made ranch but they charge for this. + Smooth Service + Not greasy or heavy; you can tell the dough and toppings are fresh. + Not overly salty - Wish they delivered further (I was 14 miles away) - Would liked to have seen more toppings on the Pasta e Funghi. - On the pricier side. Overall, a reliable choice for a fresh and authentic pizza. read more

You'll have to ignore the fact that the photos of our pies are giving "pizza after dark" vibes but when the craving calls, I answer. Most pizzerias require you to pick a lane- Neapolitan, Detroit-style, Chicago-style or New York. Pizaros is one of the few Houston exceptions. A house divided, it's the perfect spot for style sampling, flavor mixing, and the illustrious indecisive (lol, me). Not saying I did, but if one were to hypothetically order all styles of pie AND order them to-go, they would be tempted by the most infectious smelling pies their whole ride home. Once consumed, they'd likely be impressed with the quality of ingredients, treatment of the dough, and light finish leaving them void of the "I ate too many carbs and too much gluten and fat" crash. The only downside (and the only reason I give them any less than 5 stars) is that fresh ingredients are expensive, so the pies can get extremely pricey. I get it, I understand why they're priced as is, but If they were more affordable, I'd be a regular! read more

I'm originally from Houston but have lived in New Jersey for the past 10 years.When i'm home visiting and crave pizza, this is where I go! I love that they offer three styles of pizza and of course I go with the new york style. You can pick your own toppings on half or full, which is great for my picky mom. The ranch is homemade and delicious. Is it identical to ny style pizza, no but I would say it's the closest and best I've had in Houston. read more

This place is great for families, friends, and any pizza lover there is. They offer both thin crust and Detroit style pizza. I kept it plain and simple ordering a large cheese pizza. One of the best slices I've had in a while! The crust had great flavor and chew, The sauce was superb with just the right amount of cheese. It was a well-balanced pie. No soggy bottoms here in the least! read more

With new pizza spots popping up around town thanks to the Barstool gourmet pizza craze, Pizaro's showed up on the radar. I swung by during a workday for lunch. It's located on the frontage road and has parking readily available. There is inside seating and a very minimal interior in terms of just focusing on seating. You walk in and order at the counter, much like. Torchy's Tacos. Then you grab a drink from the fridge and the staff will bring you your pizza. I got a small Caesar salad ($9) to start and ordered the New York style D.U.M.B.O. (A New York style supreme pizza, $35) and a Napoletana style Iberico Bellota ($31). The Caesar was all iceberg lettuce and the dressing was a bit weak, lacking any anchovy base and missing a good quality homemade sauce. The croutons are good quality but for a $9 small bowl of Caesar, I expected a bit better. The New York style pizza was roughly a large pizza size (comparing to a large size delivery pizza roughly) and the Napoletana style pizza was significantly smaller. The Iberico pizza had a nice gourmet crust with good char. The cheese was a good quality but overall felt a bit lacking for being a whopping $31 pie. The New York style pizza had a decent topping, but I wished the crust was a bit thinner and had a crispier texture owing to the New York/ New Haven style influences. The salad was a bit lacking and I would definitely skip it next time. The pizzas are solid, and comparable to some of the spots that focus on the better ingredients/higher cost bracket style of pies. However, at over $30 per pie, it's a bit hard to justify over some of its peers that serve similar quality pizza for a bit less. Think I didn't quite order the best stuff on the menu after tasting these two specific pies and perhaps I'm missing out by not trying their Detroit style pizza so I'll give it a go next time. With all things considered, a solid 3-3.5 for me, and worth a try to come back and revisit some different pies. read more

The Caesar, pizza, and Daniel and staff were AMAZING! So glad we came and will be back soon.

We were looking for a place with outdoor seating. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. My brother ordered a family size vegetarian Detroit style pizza. The dough is delicious and so is the marinara sauce. You are brought plates. But you have to get your drinks, silverware and napkins on the side of the restaurant. They have some bottled and canned refrigerated drinks next to the cashier. My Mom ordered a canoli. She said it was ok. They have a lunch special for about $11. It includes a small pizza. Too bad they don't have pizza by the slice. read more

Easy five star review. If you are craving Detroit style pizza this is definitely a must try! They are not the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for! They are using top notch quality ingredients so in my opinion the price is definitely worth it. Food: the pizza is top notch! The caramelized crust is amazing. Every single bite was great! I will definitely remember this place when I am in the area. They are serving up 3 type of pizzas. So i will definitely have to come back asap to try the others. The customer service team and manager were very friendly as well. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Pizza was average and for the price not that great. Just a bland pizza with no flavor.

Any place with Napoletana pizza cannot be a bad place. Pizaro's included. They can definitely satisfy any pizza lover, because they also have the Detroit and New York styles. We order a white, a special with bacon, and a margherita pizza. Both tasted exactly great, though I do have 2 notes, the crusts were under-blistered and the margherita had shredded basil rather than whole basil leaves. Overall, pretty consistent with the Pizaro's near Montrose. I would say both locations' pricing is a tad high considering a 12 inch pie. The value isn't quite there, BUT I am keen to come for the lunch special some day, where it's a bit more bang for the buck! read more

Pizaro's Pizza - Magherita Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

As I continue my search for true neopolitan pizza in Houston, I saw the yelp pictures and they had the oven that produces my favorite type of pizza. I placed an order over the phone for pick up. We weren't hungry but figured we can save it for later. I ordered 2 white and 1 red. They said the order would be ready in 10-15 minutes. We were 10 minutes away. We walked in and were killed with kindness. I felt like I was walking into a ice cream parlor in the 90s with this type of customer service. It's just so rare nowadays to meet happy workers. I opened the boxes to take pictures and my nose immediately flared up with anticipation. We instantly became hungry that very moment and had a slice of each pie. Prior to the slice, I couldn't help but to notice something very unique. Their to-go packaging was very well thought. They placed the truffle oil in a separate container. They also placed the lemon vinaigrette in a separate container. Lastly, they had the arugula and parmesan in a separate box and bagged it. The pizza was also placed on wax paper instead of directly on the paper box to prevent oil leaking. So now the embarrassing part. Shortly after I took the pictures, I was so confused because I ordered the arugula pie and didn't see arugula on top. We went back in and halfway into the pizzeria, the worker comes walking to us and asked us what was wrong. Then we dropped. The arugula was in the bag in a separate container. Opps! I didn't get a chance to roam since our order was ready but it looked clean at a quick glance. Now onto the pizza. Wow. One bite in. 5 stars right away. This is exactly what I wanted. Chewy crust. Charred edges. Thin center. Flavorful. Light. Great ratio of sauce to dough to toppings. Didn't fall apart when picked up. Absolutely Perfection. Interestingly, I'm a white pie gal and my partner is a red sauce guy. I LOVED the red pie. Their red sauce reminded us of Joe's pizzera in Manhattan, NYC. This pie bought back memories from home. Only downside is I live in the woodlands and it's quite a drive to come here. If it was closer I would probably be here weekly. Pies I ordered: Calabrese, patata e Funghi, arugula read more

Daniel greeted me as I walked in. The shop was clean, well lit, smelling amazing! The decor was interesting to admire while waiting for our pizza Togo. There was a tall cooler with beer and wine by the register, as well as a soda fountain/ fresh brewed tea area. There were also select bottles of wine to enhance the fresh flavors on the pizza. When eating in, I definitely suggest the Napoletana, to get the full experience of Thin and Crispy at 900 degrees. I was afraid it wouldn't hold up well to the 20 minute ride home, so we decided on the New York style with red sauce and homemade mozzarella. We added crimini mushrooms, red onion, Italian sausage, finochetta salami, basil and black olives. All fresh and delicious. Currently they are featuring a pizza with crawfish and white sauce that sounded fabulous. Get it before it's gone! They do have a lunch special: either a 12 inch margarita pizza or a 8 inch margarita pizza with choice of salad for $10.99, Tues thru Friday. This is, by far, is MrM's favorite go to pizza place! Although a little out of the way for us, it's always scrumptious and well worth the drive! read more

I stopped here for lunch with my team on probably one of the most beautiful days of October 2022. it really was a nice day! XD Anyways , immediately the smell of fresh pizza being made hits your nostrils. My sense of smell was flooded with essence of pure pizza perfection. I knew i was in for a treat. I don't mind spending the 24$ on a 16in NY Style Pepperoni Pizza , but damn that's low key a lot but HEY it happened to be the best damn NY slice in Houston. Perfect dough/ crust to die for Sauce was amazing , straight out of the oven glistening between dat cheese mayneee yessirrrr, it was that mesmerizing to me. I have a thing for pizza g , quality is what's going on here people. we also tried the Napoletana Margherita Pizza w/ pepperoni. A whole nother universe. When i tell you that Margherita pizza spoke to me.... Definitely coming back to this spot when i have the time to drive out and i will be having the same thing plus a couple bud lights ;) - Santangelo Balli Gonzales Count on my word. Count on the SLICE. read more

Great service and helpful staff love the explanation of what the different kinds of pizza are the kids loved that. The pizzas however didn't deliver to the hype. Detroit pizzas our more bready (is that a word) but were just literally bread with cheese cooked very well and crunch not much flavor from the cheese or sauces. The new your style pizza same problem cooked perfectly but lacking in flavors and taste for my taste buds. read more

Nice little spot. Not a great deal of seating because it is a small location Tried both the NY style and the Neapolitan style. For having two oven types I was expecting a crispier style of pizza but it really wasn't. The Neapolitan was okay. I think too many toppings took away from the crispness of the crust. The NY style was slightly better but not a traditional margarita style pizza that I am used to. Final bit is way too much basil. It took too much away from the sauce and cheese on the pizza. Being from NY/NJ. These doesn't hit the classic pizza from home but it is good. Little overpriced. Little smaller than expectation. But overall it's fine pizza. Significantly better than any of the chains (papa John, Pizza Hut, Etc.). read more

I just left this establishment and boy am I confused. Didn't pick this as a destination eatery it happened to be in the same shopping center as the billiards store I had just purchased a ping pong table from. It was also rush hour so my friend and myself decided to eat a pie instead of sitting in traffic. Ordered a margarita pizza and the lackey behind the register informed us that the price included a free drink. Score! There was a cooler next to the counter filled with beverage bottles and cans so I opened it to grab a can of some blueberry seltzer with THC for my drink. The register retard interjected loudly "What are you doing? You didn't pay for those.". Confused, I repeated what he said about a free drink being included. He replied that the free drink was from the fountain which was located around the corner and completely hidden from sight. Whatever, I'm not tripping I guess maybe he can see through walls and assumes everyone else can too. So we get our fountain drinks and sit at a table to taste the margarita pizza fresh out of the oven. It was bland, surprisingly so and lacking any significant flavor profile. 2 slices in and the counter coward yells to inform us we can get a drink out of the cooler for free as well. Double score! I chose a blueberry seltzer water with THC infused and my friend got something else in a can and we opened them while continuing to eat our pizza. Once we finished eating we were walking out the door and to my car, and out of nowhere the miscarriage of a manager approached us menacingly to tell us we cannot come back to eat again. I asked him to explain why and he said "I was watching you guys closely and I saw what you did ag guy 77 read more

Great food! Awesome manager, explained the menu and apologized for not serving wine on time!

I think these guys have the best pizza in Houston, especially if you like Napoletana style pizza with French toppings and great crust. I seldomly eat here because , frankly , the inside is pretty primitive. I pickup or have delvivered and usually do a margarita pizza with Spanish and double anchovies. They also have some decently priced bottled wine to go if you are lacking in 'pizza wine' at your house. read more

Pizaro's has successfully ruined all other pizza places for me!! This pizza is absolutely delicious and once you take a bite you don't want to stop! We got two different styles of pizza and both were equally amazing in flavor and authentic to the style of pizza. I have never tasted pizza SO good and fresh. You can tell by the taste that they only use high quality ingredients. I live about 40 minutes away from Pizaro's and 10/10 willing to make the drive again. My family and I will be back!! Highly recommend! read more

So I hate to give a bad review because they didn't do anything bad per se. We ordered to go since it was a little late and we couldn't get delivery. I appreciate them taking the order and waiting for us to pick up so great customer service. I gave three stars because I didn't particularly like the flavor of the pizza. Crust was fine but I think the tomato sauce threw me off. Kinda vinegary I think, idk but i got a pepperoni and sausage and it didn't really just have the pizza taste I was looking for. It may work for someone else read more

There's been a lot of hype over the past few years about Pizaro's Pizza and their being the only Houston Pizza Joint with a certification from the "Verace Pizza Napoletana" organization. I've wanted to give them a try for a few years and last night decide to order their curbside pickup and travel a little farther than I'd like to finally see what they were all about. I ordered my pizzas at 4:00 PM on their website for pickup at 6:30 PM, wanting to make sure I could get in before the Friday night rush. Order Details: Estimated Curbside Time Fri, Dec - 18, 2020 at 6:30 PM. Order Number: R9157 1 Cheese $13.00 Pepperoni $2.00 Black Olive $2.00 1 Salsiccia e Funghi $18.00 Subtotal $35.00 Tax $2.89 Total $37.89 Kinda pricey for 12" Pizzas, but I had to see what the charm and fascination was with this "Napoletana" hype. I arrived at 6:25 PM and sat in my car waiting for my "curbside" delivery, finally about 6:40 PM I got out of my car and went inside to see what was holding things up. At the counter they asked if they could help and I told them I had a CURBSIDE order to pickup at 6:30 PM and thought you might be running behind. The guy said, "Let me check in the back to see if your order is ready", and walked away. He came back a couple of minutes later with my pizzas, so I hurried home (less than 10 minutes) to savor my treasures. When I got home, the pizzas were both at room temperature!! Not hot, not even warm, but ROOM TEMPERATURE. We had to "reheat" the pizzas to make them eatable. Now for the pizza review... They had a nice crust, but by now the bottoms were soggy and "heels" were soft. Good flavor on both pizzas, but as you can see in the photos, the topping were SPARSE. Made for a fun game of "find the mushrooms". Best part of the pizzas was the cheese, very nice mozzarella. At $17 and $18 for a 12" pizza, I expected them to have ample toppings, which they didn't. But by now I had a bid of a tainted view based on being served cold pizza so it was hard to give them any better than two stars. Not sure I'll give Pizaros's a second chance based on this first experience. We usually go to Ciro's or George's Pastaria for "non-chain" fast food pizza; and both are a much better value with ample toppings. read more

This is my new favorite pizza place. They have three different styles of pizza here: Neapolitan, New York, and Detroit. We chose the New York style pizza with half Italian sausage and pepperoni. The other half was grilled chicken, Crimini mushrooms, and black olives. To start things off we had the most delicious ranch salad. They make their own Ranch from scratch and it is by far the best ranch dressing you will ever have. Wonderful mix of greens, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons. Everything was organic and fresh and good for you. The pizza came out in about ten minutes. It was fantastic! Best pizza I've had in years. Crust, sauce, cheese, meats, veggies all wonderful. So good! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Great location with easy parking. We're going back to try the watermelon salad and the chicken piccata pizza. Can't wait. read more

I've been to the other location on Gray and I had the Detroit pizza and that was really good, so that's why I decided to try this location because I really had a craving for pizza. I called in my order and had a few questions, the guy on the phone was really nice, and I picked up my order about 45 minutes later. When they opened the pizza to show me, I was actually surprised to see that's what it looked like.... I immediately said "oh wow there's not a lot of cheese on that" which was weird because I specifically said over the phone "Please give me whichever cheese will cover the pizza the most, I like my pizza really cheesy." I don't think this pizza is worth anywhere near $27???? The dough is really good but I was basically eating bread and sauce on most of my slices... I wouldn't try this place/location again read more

Neapolitan pizza is great, love that crust! Can't go wrong, just add the topping you love.

I'm more of a quantity over quality guy because I'm a bigger guy. When you but into one of their pizzas all you taste is quality.

Really "Good Eats"!! NYC Style of Pizza choices and selections.... Traditional open front type of eatery, where you order and pay ahead of time. You seat yourself and take a number plus get your own drinks and utensils etc.etc This place is located right next to Subway, so pretty easy to find in this strip center. Friendly staff members and they made it easy to make a choice of which Pizza to order. Cooked to order and came out pretty fast....."Hot Pizza Pie" ready to eat!! Very,very tasty and well done. Great flavors and authentic Italian cuisine...from one of the 5 Burroughs of NY!! Forgot about it..... Kinda small but Mighty Good Flavors Plenty of parking and some New York themed decorations around the joint. Wall of photos and Culinary Certificates of Italian Cuisine Endeavors is a nice touch!! It needs some Franky or Dean Martin singing in the background to add some atmosphere to this joint along with a deeper menu selection for me to give this a 5 Star!!! read more

The stars on Yelp do not do justice to the quality of the pizzas! My daughter and I stopped by at Pizaro's for a quick lunch. I was intrigued by the fact that this was a Neapolitan wood oven baked pizza place. The pizzas on the pictures looked authentic and so we decided to give it a shot. I spoke to one of the workers who told me they only use Caputo 00 flour imported from Italy. The flour is a "product of Italy" rather than "made in Italy." This is a big difference for all those who want to eat clean food. That was the first indication of a great pizza. Secondly, we were greeted with a large, wood oven imported from Italy! That also checks my box! Lastly, while the pizzaiola was not originally from Naples, he did study and obtain his certificate from the motherland. Fourthly and totally unexpected, the owner has also received his certificate to make fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese from Naples. So, all ingredients, including the San Marzano tomatoes, are all fresh! The pizza was delicious just like the one I had in Naples a few years ago. I'll stop by next time I am in town. Thank you! read more
